Early Saturday morning, my Korean language class all piled into a big coach bus and headed out West on the tollway towards
Chollanamdo Province's Naganupsong, an ancient walled city and citadel dating back over 800 years.
The traditional thatch roofed, buildings inside the fortress walls are all protected for their cultural value, having stood the test of time, and yet a real community lives and thrives within the stout curtain wall encircling the sprawling agricultural hamlet. The local palace is no longer in use, but remains preserved for the tourists it draws to the area.
Our class had a lot of fun touring the buildings, and I made a few new friends. Sonny really got into the spirit of things, with... white war paint. Krista jumped for joy at the sight of the castle entrance.
